Anointed Word, our corporate 21 day fast will start on January 14th and will end on February 3rd.
Please be informed that this is a first fruit fast.
Romans 10:16 "For if the first fruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches."
The principal of first fruits is that the first will always govern the rest!
It is the first things that will determine the proceeding things!
The Purpose of the fast is the principal itself;
This will be the First Corporate fast of the year and it will govern and determine the success of the rest of this year and BEYOND!!!!
As we move forward in the beginning of this fresh new year, we can look forward to God blessing the remainder of it.
As we begin this new year off in fasting and praying we can expect God to bless us in deed and enlarge us and cause his kingdom to advance in every area of our lives this year!
Pray that this would be the year of exceeding expectation fulfilled! Pray concerning our health, our marriages, our finances, families, businesses, that God would bless us mentally, spiritually, for our ministry, and in every area of our lives. We're praying for favor, direction, wisdom and insight etc, that His Glory would be manifested in our lives and that His Blessing would rest on us!
There are several types of fasts however, how you chose to fast in this corporate fast will be between you and God.
The different fasts are as follows:
- A Full Fast
Which involves drinking liquids alone.
- The Daniel Fast
Which involves eating no meat, sweets, or bread. Drink water and juice. Eat fruits, vegetables and salads.
- The Partial Fast
A partial fast is from 6:00 am to 3:00 pm or from sun up to sundown. Some with health concerns or who may not be accustomed to long fasting may choose to fast from 6:00am to 12:00pm.
This type of Corporate Fasting that we will be doing is mentioned in different accounts of scripture and can be highly affective for the success and effect-ability of the entire congregation.
We're encouraging those who can to begin the first two weeks of the fast by doing a "Daniel's Fast" which consists of fruits, vegetables, salads, and liquids (NO BREAD, MEATS, OR SWEETS), and to conclude the last 7 days by doing a liquid fast.
Scriptures for corporate fasting can be found in:
1 Samuel 7:5-6, Ezra 8:21-23, Nehemiah 9:1-3, Joel 2:15-16, Jonah 3:5-10, Acts 27:33-37.
Scripture References for Fasting, in general can be found in:

Anointed Word be advised that it is the attitude of the sincere seeker of God that will cause His responding twins during this time of fasting that we're soon approaching (Isaiah 58, Jeremiah 14:12, 1 Corinthians 8:8).
May God greatly bless us in this fast!
